yeah and thats good for the sport cause the PFL 2019 is definitely going to have better fighters with that prizes

they detected a picogram, that could be the residue of a fucking metric ton of juice... but that is a very compelling argument for whoever wants to believe his ass after failing for the 3rd time

For anyone who believes Jones hasn't been juicing in some way or another for a very long time now, I've got some rocks to sell to you

With that said, it doesn't diminish his ridiculous fight IQ and just general ability. Guy definitely would've been a long reigning champ either way but I mean...there's still a difference between that and the nearly unbeatable guy that we're seeing. Always found it a little ridiculous that he has his long frame but he somehow pretty easily has enough base strength to stop people like DC from having grappling advantages

Smith will have nothing for him

UFC 235 seems like it will be a good event, wanted to see Usman vs Woodley for a while, pretty sure this is the only guy that can have a decent shot at the title atm

Woodley vs. Covington is a better match-up than Woodley vs. Usman.

Jones will easily beat Smith. Jones is currently a 13-1 favorite.

I don't know, I think Usman is more of a threat than Covington.

Its an amazing event for sure, and the odds agrees with you Usman has a decent chance, but personally i don't see what usmans brings to the table. His striking isn't on Woodley's level, Woodley has one of best TDD in MMA, and Usman doesn't seem like he has enough pressure to tire out Woodley.

I'd potentially have preferred Colby, because colby's fights are always interesting. But i like Usman better so whatever lol

Its def hard to understand why Jones has wrestling on par with DC. Judging from their body types, DC should easily be the much stronger man. And technique wise, DC is a gold medalist... Usually in MMA, the tall lanky guy almost always has issues with the small bulky wrestler when it comes to grappling.;.. but not Jones.

I want to see Jones vs Cormier 3, DC has more to gain than Jones. If Jones wins again, its clear that he is superior (almost same scenario than today), but if Cormier wins he can even be considered the GOAT and avenge his loses to the guy he hates.

I also hope Jones fights Cain or Lesnar in the future.

they shoulda done gaethje conor. that would be hype

man it really sucks to see fedor getting KOed like that, by a lead hook -- i wish he`d have just retired a couple of years ago.

Yep.

I expected Bader to win via TKO, but not that easily.

I wanted Fedor to win and retire : ( It would be amazing for the greatest to retire winning that GP

And a weak lead hook that didn't land that well

Man I have so much respect for Floyd right now. I can't name any other fighter who went out as greatly as he did. Now the guy just boxes noobs for hundreds of millions taking zero damage and retiring from his pro career undefeated.

in Fedor's defense he did beat cans for a while before getting his ass kicked by stronger opponents

Hell hasnt Floyd made close to a billion from boxing? Does he spend THAT much money on average that he needs to box really? Feels like the guy just wants to have some fun and has a hard time giving up due to age... obviously just because of his name and presence he d get paid millions
